@taratill thank you, my sw was 19st 13lb so I would expect to lose well in the first months as I have completely changed my eating habits. I was both a snacker and a big dinner finisher lol. I have no doubt it will slow down.
Re exercise I am walking everyday and doing small exercises at home, I don’t yet feel able to join a class or gym (actually don’t think I would join a gym tbh!). I was thinking of getting one of those walking plate things but I’m over the weight limit atm!

I have no idea what a walking plate is, is it the same as a treadmill?

Well done on changing eating habits. I reckon that is the hardest bit.

Strange question, but does anyone think Mounjaro has helped with their driving confidence? I used to drive a lot and be perfectly confident on motorways etc. I then began to notice as I got older how much less confident I felt in busy traffic.

I’ve just come back from holiday, and really felt much more relaxed again with driving. Wondering if it might be some freak effect of MJ (people do talk about brain fog reduction), or if I’m just imagining things?

Honestly one week staying the same after 11 weeks is still really good 😅 I had a couple weeks like that on Wegovy and usually it balanced out again after. I use it through an online clinic and the weekly app check ins helped me not spiral over every weigh in tbh. The recipes and little wellness challenges on the app kept me more consistent when work got hectic too.

I lost 2lb this week, which is a lot for me. I am over the moon about it. I have 2lb to lose to get to the next stone bracket and 4lb for my BMI to be under 25.

My progress has been slow but I am starting to notice it when I look in the mirror and I feel like I’m making progress.

Hi, does anyone have advice on alcoholic drinks? I'm not talking about a big night on the piss just the ability to have two. I usually go for G&T cos it's lowest calories and wine always makes me want more. But lately I can't stomach gin, the smell makes me nauseous. I had a glass of wine recently and I got really acidy. Something thicker like Baileys appealed more but it's high in calories, that said better one higher calorie drink than 4 of something else that ultimately adds up to more. I have a few events coming up and I enjoy a drink occasionally, I don't want to feel it's a life pleasure I have to fully sacrifice.
